We are seeking to appoint a Pastoral Manager to join our supportive team of committed advocates for young people who are passionate about changing lives and transforming chances. Pastoral Care is a key strength of our provision at Langley and we support all of our young people to be, and become, the best versions of themselves. Every learner matters and matters equally at Langley.

The successful candidate will have strong values and beliefs about the importance of education to a child’s success as well as a relentless optimism that barriers to education can be removed with time, love and care. We are looking for colleagues who enjoy working collaboratively, in a team, putting the needs of the child at the centre of everything we do.

At Langley, we prioritise positive relationships between staff and students. We are incredibly proud of the way our staff and young people work collaboratively to fulfil our school motto ‘to be the best we can be’. Langley is a wonderful place to work and learn. We are a committed, compassionate community united in our mission to being fully inclusive, celebrating diversity and promoting equality in all that we do.

In our recent Ofsted Inspection Report from March 2023, inspectors described Langley as ‘an inclusive, welcoming school’ where ‘pupils behave well in lessons’ and there is a ‘calm and purposeful atmosphere around the school’.

Above all, Langley is an inclusive community and students, staff and governors are united in our shared belief that potential is limitless and that a good education opens doors and transforms lives. We want our young people to succeed academically and personally so that they leave us as happy, thriving young adults, proud of themselves and our school.
